3 Wheels Under The Sun

WORLD PREMIERE

In the summer of 2018, two Vancouver adventurers decided to participate as the only North Americans in the Suntrip solar bike race from France to China. Part early honeymoon trip, part science project, they built from scratch a back-to-back solar powered tandem tricycle that could be both rowed and pedaled. Together they turn heads and face challenges carving their own route from Lyon to Tehran before flying back to BC for another big engagement.
